Every gunner must read this poem of recollections of Kapyong written by Maurice Gasson of Clevedon. He was a TARA in 161 Bty at the Battle of Kapyong and the poem was given to the Col Comdt at the Citation Award ceremonies at the Auckland War Memorial Museum last Friday.
Note for young gunners; Technical Assistant Royal Artillery [TARA] was relabelled Tech Ack or CP Ack, worked in Command Post and Observation Post plotting teams.
